He developed the bar program at Spoonbar in Healdsburg, and has also served as the Beverage Director at Hyatt San Francisco, Martini House in St Helena, Montage Resort, and now Barndiva in Healdsburg, where he offers cocktail classes that provide a full sensory experience, teaching participants to craft both classic and original cocktails using fine spirits and organic ingredients.
